Studies on solar inactivation of Escherichia coli in freshwater and in situ have been limited. At 63rd St. Beach, Chicago, Ill., factors influencing the daily periodicity of culturable E. coli, particularly insolation, were examined. Water samples for E. coli analysis were collected twice daily between April and September 2000 three times a week along five transects in two depths of water. Hydr...

Scientific, industrial and societal needs call urgently for the development establishment of intelligent, cost-effective ecologically sustainable monitoring protocols robotic platforms continuous exploration marine ecosystems. Internet Operated Vehicles (IOVs) such as crawlers, provide a versatile alternative to conventional observing sampling tools, being tele-operated, (semi-) permanent mobil...

Raptor conservation programs should be based on knowledge of the birds’ ecology in both natural and urban habitats, justifying inclusion ecological studies suburban zones into regional planning initiatives. The objective this study was to determine use diurnal raptors within habitats a area city southern Chile. We characterize different five types environment, assess their raptor diversity for ...

Nuclear simple sequence repeats (nSSRs), together with 16 different enzyme loci, were used to analyzegenetic diversity and differentiation among beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) populations along two altitudinalgradients in Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Both enzymes and nSSR analyses revealed a high level ofgenetic diversity in natural populations of F. orientalis. The genetic div...
